# Questions and tasks
Please note the important notes afterwards!
###### 1. You are only allowed to move along a half latitude (##°00' or ##°30') and only on the mainland (including crossing rivers and lakes). Which half latitude do you have to travel along to cross the world's largest possible number of full longitudes?
###### 2. Name a country that would have room as an island in a lake less than 300 km away as the crow flies if it remained north!
It is unproblematic if this would cover islands existing in the lake.
###### 3. One of your business partners calls where you are staying, since the online meeting started 10 minutes ago. You are all in the same 2nd level territorial authority, but all other participants are in the other time zone of this territorial authority. You realize that you should have entered 9:15 a.m. instead of 10:15 a.m. for you. You look at your two watches, the one for you shows 9:25 a.m. and the one for your business partners shows 10:10 a.m. You immediately set it to 11:10 a.m. In which very small village are you?
Tip: One of the most famous hard rock songs was written in your area.
###### 4. Which country is that?

The stain on the upper right belongs not to it.
Tip: It is less than 9:30 h from UTC.

## Important notes
* Territories which have a certain affiliation but do not belong to, depend on or are not associated with any UN member state are considered as separate countries.
* Territories that are recognized as independent countries by more than half of the UN member states count as own countries.
* The following country names always refer to the following, unless otherwise stated (possibly without claimed but not internationally recognized territories):
* "France", "Australia", "Norway", "Denmark" and "Kingdom of the Netherlands": Their widest possible definition
* "UK": The core country including all British overseas territories, but excluding Man, Jersey and Guernsey and without other Commonwealth member countries
* "USA": The core country including all overseas territories, but excluding the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base
* With country always states of the highest level are meant, no federal states or similar.
* With "territorial entity of #. level" means the following:
* "2<sup>nd</sup> level": state, constituent republic, federal state, territory, etc.
* "3<sup>rd</sup> level": province, county, district, borough, etc.
---
* Neighbouring countries are only those that share a common land border, unless otherwise specified.
* Areas include water areas belonging to territorial entities, unless otherwise specified, but do not include territorial sea waters. The data of the CIA World Factbook apply.
* For questions regarding distances and locations, territorial sea waters are not included, unless otherwise stated.
---
* When it comes to boundaries and coordinates, the representations in Google Maps<sup>TM</sup> and Google Earth<sup>TM</sup> are always decisive.
* Filled-in outlines of countries are always standardised and do not include inland waters that are only partially part of the country. However, they contain enclaves, even if these are complete countries. They were created with the app TrueWorld Maps<sup>TM</sup>.
* All correct answers are geographical.

## What doesn't count
* Situation in the same climate zone or on the same continent

* Any bands of altitudes exceeding 100 metres in height
* Answers containing the word "approximately"
* Common letters or sequences or words in geographical names

## Examples of required and sufficient accuracy
* "All cities lie between 11°40' S and 12°40' S."
* "Through both places runs the 900 m contour line." or "Both places are at 900 m altitude."
* The highest point of both countries is between 4,440 m and 4,500 m (or max. 100 m difference)."
